Hey guys, so I'm thinking of upgrading my HD 7770 1gb, to an hd 7850 2gb, but I currently have a 500w PSU (I don't know if it would still run fine but I'm being safe and getting a 650w PSU)
Anyway, I want to upgrade to a 650w PSU, but don't want to spend any more than £40 on one, can anyone suggest me any good reliable 650w PSUs?

Cheers for any help

It should run fine, But if your looking for a decent non explodey 650w psu below the £40 price mark then you are going to be a bit disappointed im afraid :/ 
If you want a decent 650w expect to spend around £60.
I currently use the XFX 650w PRO , and damn im impressed, sure its a clump of wires but its currently running two KFA2 OC'ed 560 ti's in SLI. plus i7 950.

Im running some pretty hungry components and the thing never breaks a sweat, aslong as you have it mounted in the bottom of your case ofc.

Comes in at £60, Do NOT fall for cheap 650w PSU's. You will only end up with a shoddy psu that is likely to burn out or kill your system.

An XFX 650W power supply or a Seasonic 620W power supply would be pretty good.
